A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking immediate action rather than waiting for everything to be perfect or ideal. It suggests that a well-executed plan, even if done forcefully or abruptly, is more beneficial than waiting for the 'perfect' timing. It encourages proactivity over perfectionism, suggesting that seizing opportunities in the present moment can lead to better outcomes than endlessly preparing for the future. Ultimately, the quote implies that decisive action is often more effective and advantageous than delaying action in pursuit of an unattainable level of perfection.
